Version 1.0 October 2014 Pathway To Employment in Hospitality & Catering

© CITY & GUILDS 1. The chance to meet different people Because the hospitality industry employs millions of people from all over the world, one of the biggest perks is the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life, learn about the different cultures and lifestyles. 2. Work in a variety of roles Another advantage of working in hospitality is the variety of tasks and positions available within a company. For example, employees in the hospitality industry could work in reception, reservation offices, and restaurants and move up to management positions within a few years. Hospitality is one of the best industries to get hands on experience and a gather a broad set of skills. 3. Rewards creativity As an industry that’s constantly evolving and looking at fresher ways to advertise and market itself, employers within the hospitality are looking for jobseekers who have a creative mind. Interior design, copywriting, logistical planning, and culinary arts are just some of the ways jobseekers can put those creative juices to work. 4. Stability and flexibility no matter where you go Perhaps one of the biggest advantages of the hospitality industry is that skills are transferable irrespective of the country the job is advertised in. Every country will have some kind of hospitality industry willing to employ someone whether it’s for a casual, part-time or for a long-term career. It’s just about getting the right qualifications and/or grabbing the opportunities as soon as they arise. Here are 4 reasons that make working in hospitality attractive.
